Title: The preparation of encapsulated pancreatic beta islet cells treated with nicotinamide from piglets able to produce porcine insulin
Inventor: ELLIOTT ROBERT BARTLET
IPC: A61K35/39
Filed: 2000-01-20
Abstract: Xenotransplantable porcine islet preparations capable of producing porcine insulin in a suitable mammal are prepared from the pancreas of piglets at or near full term gestation. The method comprises harvesting the pancreas of piglets that are from -7 to +10 days full term gestation.  A culture of the pancreatic b islet cells is prepared from the harvested pancreas in a supportive mammalian albumin, free of non-human microbiological agents.  Simultaneously or after the preparation of the culture pancreatic b islet cells are extracted from the culture of the harvested pancreas.  The extraction is performed using a collagenase selected from purified human collagenase or purified porcine collagenase.  At some stage of the method the islets are treated with nicotinamide. Further more after extraction the islets can be encapsulated with a biocompatible xenotransplantable material that is glucose and insulin porous.

Title: Management control of pharmaceutical substances
Inventor: SMITH CRAIG G
IPC: G16H20/10
Filed: 2004-02-11
Abstract: A computerised identity matching management system and process for the supply of a pharmaceutical substance to an authorised person is disclosed. The system 100 includes a capture apparatus 115 used for biometric identification, such as iris recognition, of a person who is requesting the supply of the substance. The capture apparatus sends a request to a management computer 140 which then responds with a command to commence capture of a biometric representative of the person. This representative is sent to the management computer which then initiates a matching process to find a match for the decoded captured biometric against stored biometric records and to retrieve an identification code of the person when a match is found. The management computer retrieves a date stamp and uses the identification code to retrieve a data record of the person which includes at least a substance the person is prescribed, a quantity in which the substance is to be supplied and a date at which the substance is to be supplied and determines whether the date stamp matches the date at which the substance is to be supplied. If a match is determined, the substance is supplied in the prescribed quantity and information is recorded to form a record to update the supply of the substance to the person.

Title: Backwash and cleaning method for concentrating the solids of a liquid suspension by providing a pressure differential across membrane walls
Inventor: JOHNSON WARREN THOMAS
IPC: B01D65/06
Filed: 2004-09-22
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of concentrating the solids of a liquid suspension by providing a pressure differential across the walls of permeable, hollow membranes (6) immersed in the liquid suspension (9). The liquid suspension (9) is applied to the outer surface of the porous hollow membranes (6) to induce and sustain filtration through the membrane walls (12) wherein some of the liquid suspension passes through the walls (12) of the membranes (6) to be drawn off as clarified liquid or permeate from the hollow membrane lumens (11), and at least some of the solids are retained on or in the hollow membranes (6) or otherwise as suspended solids within the liquid (9) surrounding the membranes (6). The method includes periodically backwashing the membrane pores using the permeate by applying a gas at a pressure below the bubble point to the membrane lumens (11) to progressively displace at least some of the liquid permeate within the lumens (11) through the membrane pores resulting in removal the solids retained on or in the hollow membranes into the bulk liquid (9) surrounding the membranes (6). Also disclosed is a concentrator system for recovering fine solids from a liquid feed suspension.

Title: Automatic compression release mechanism including feature to prevent unintentional disablement during engine shutdown
Inventor: ROTTER TERRANCE M
IPC: F01L13/08
Filed: 2004-08-19
Abstract: An automatic compression release mechanism for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The mechanism comprises a weight assembly 510 for rotating a contoured shaft 540 in a notch of a cam lobe 360. This occurs between a low speed orientation, in which the contoured shaft presents a first surface that protrudes above a cam lobe surface, and a normal speed orientation in which the contoured shaft presents a second surface that is substantially flush with the cam lobe surface. A step 584 formed in the notch of the cam lobe acts to resist rotation of the contoured shaft from the low speed orientation to the normal speed rotation, when the cam lobe moves in a first direction of rotation during engine shut down. The cam lobe moves in a second opposite direction during normal engine operation.
